Perfect for now, ideal for later: life at The Green

 

Not only is Tarragindi home to a close-knit and friendly community, it’s also home to the 260-hectare Toohey Forest, and it’s a mere eight kilometres from Brisbane’s CBD. It’s no wonder the stylish and leafy suburb is loved by families and professionals. Discerning retirees are now getting in on the good life.

Whether you’re a Tarragindi local wanting to stay in your desirable, tree-line neighbourhood, or simply ready for retirement and looking for a tree change close to Brisbane’s CBD, you’ve made the right decision selecting The Green Tarragindi for your next chapter.

Stay connected with old friends and make new ones

Whether you’re a Tarragindi local or a newcomer, you will love the convenient location of The Green, which is close to parks, restaurants, shops, public transport and health amenities.

As RetireAustrlalia’s Senior Development Manager, Angus Spencer says: “Staying in your neighbourhood allows you to stay close to friends and family. Especially as we get older, it’s critical to create connections and maintain friendships.

“The Green allows people to continue to enjoy all the things they love in their neighbourhood, and be part of a like-minded community. Equally if you’re looking to change things up in retirement, The Green is situated in a wonderful community close to everything you could need.”

Start your day with a solitary early morning walk in one of the many green spaces on your doorstep, or share a cup of coffee with close friends in a trendy local café, either way you’re guaranteed to be able to live life how you like with everything you need right at your fingertips. And, if you’re looking to make new friends and connect with like-minded neighbours, The Green’s social calendar and numerous community amenities will help you on your way.

Tarragindi’s first retirement community has been specifically designed to promote a healthy lifestyle, with extensive community facilities, beautifully landscaped gardens and plentiful opportunities for casual interactions with your neighbours and friends. It is going to be a unique community where you can make yourself at home and find like-minded people, where you can relax in the privacy of your own apartment, get out and enjoy the thriving local area, or make use of the village’s first class facilities and activities whenever you like.

In fact, we’re confident that your home at The Green will be the centre of many social gatherings for years to come.

Bring your pet

The Green has been designed to embrace all the things that bring you joy – like living with a beloved pet who can make your home complete. We care about the important connection and companionship pets provide, that’s why we welcome four legged friends. Better still, they will be able to make new friends at the Shaftsbury Street dog park which is just a few minutes away.

Lift your bowls game and stimulate your social life

The Green will adjoin the rejuvenated Tarragindi Bowls Club, which is being bought back to life as Australia’s newest, 10-rink championship-quality bowling green. A much-loved local facility, care is being taken to restore this thriving club and make it open and accessible to all.

With all residents of the retirement community enjoying free membership to the Tarragindi Bowls Club, it will be your go-to place to fill up on fun, catch up with friends and family and enjoy great food. So whether you take bowls seriously or you just seriously want to have fun, you’ll be able to socialise over a friendly bowls match or establish your legendary status as a fierce competitor on the lawn.

Whatever the days hold, the club will be there for your daily caffeine fix and leisurely meals. Or you can meet at sunset with your neighbours for afternoon drinks.

“It’s a really vibrant area with an active community, especially with the Tarragindi Bowls Club. It’s all these things that make up a really wonderful tapestry of the Tarragindi community,” says Angus.

The right care for you, at any stage, now and in the future

It’s reassuring to know that at The Green there will always be someone looking out for you, whether it’s a friendly neighbour or a caring member of staff.

Tailored technology solutions are being seamlessly incorporated into the apartments to help you stay connected and access care and health services if you ever need them.
